description

PyJWT through 2.13.0 can accept an empty symmetric key when it is loaded from an oct JWK during JWT verification. An unauthenticated attacker may create JWTs with chosen claims if the application resolves verification keys from a JWK or JWKS containing an empty key.

mitigation

Upgrade pyjwt to version 2.14.0. Audit JWK and JWKS sources, remove any symmetric entries with empty keys, and ensure signing secrets cannot default to empty values.

fixed in 2.14.0
